About Insulin Pumps and Medicare coverage
An insulin pump delivers continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion — replacing multiple daily injections with a programmable device that delivers basal insulin continuously and allows the patient to program boluses at meals. Medicare Part B covers pumps under HCPCS E0784 when the beneficiary meets clinical criteria: C-peptide below a threshold, and documentation that multiple daily injections are not achieving control. The pump is covered once every five years; infusion sets and reservoirs are covered monthly.
"I'm a veteran and was confused about whether VA or Medicare covered my supplies. They sorted it out with one call and billed the right payer. That alone was worth it."
